• calibration studies (also involved psyc. undergrads) for pattern construction et al., address baseline configurations of shapes/lines/words in some tests (PC, SqP, SP) - all generative tasks

C-TOC Meeting Minutes - July 5, 2010

• Attendees: Joanna, Claudia, Robin, Steve, Matt

Minutes

Recent

• cycle 1 complete, 7 clinical patients, 1 cultural panel focus group
• MB and CJ complete usability evaluations

Development

• C-TOCv4 for December, validation for CHIR for March?
• Steve has prototype of video/animated task instructions
• C-TOCv2 to address usability concerns in usability evaluation reports by CJ and MB, remains in PPT

Test Battery

• all tests remaining in C-TOCv2, test content generally fine, none discarded
• media content to be cleared
• IP violations possible for some test paradigms
• content approved by B. Purves (speech + audiology sciences), J. Barton (neuroopthamology, spatial perceptual processes, topographical orientation), P. Graf (cog. psychology), H. Feldman
• C-TOC seen as hybrid between screening and full NP test battery
• those w/ low computer literacy not to be addressed in first phase
• presentation of instructions needs to be reviewed, alternatives provided (replay-able video, animations, audio, multimodal options, incremental reveal of text / gradual display of text)
• How to address timing issue? Who wants to be timed, who does not?

To do:

• side projects to validate new test paradigms (neuropsychological studies, involvement of psyc. undergrads) - validation by hand scoring in PPT
• calibration studies (also involved psyc. undergrads) for pattern construction et al., address baseline configurations of shapes/lines/words in some tests (PC, SqP, SP) - all generative tasks
• validation on language tasks with aphasic patients and controls, again with hand scoring
• validation/calibration studies will push current prototype to its limits, before any hi-fi dev work, but still focusing on usability
• address all usability concerns in usability evaluation reports by CJ and MB
